   Would've been cooler if the emulator was implemented within the browser itself, lke DistroSea, or Archive.org.

   There used to be an app called Universal Android Debloater[1] that did the same thing, but that was unfortunately abandoned three years ago. Glad to see someone else take up the mantle, although, I find it a bit ironic that someone who care

   How is ESO these days? Wondering if it's worth getting into from a solo (or finding some random party) gameplay/questing perspective.

   egui might not be great for it, but Slint and Iced have decent accessibility support (via AccessKit).

   New Zealand had a service called YourDrive[1] that was pitched exactly as "AirBnB for cars"[2]. I used it a couple of times and it was great, super affordable. Unfortunately they didn't survive the Covid crunch. [1] https:&#

   This sound cool and all, but how would this concept work for traditional VMS and physical servers, running OSes like Windows or some baremetal hypervisor? All I see is kubernetes, kubernetes, kubernetes... but real-world infrastructure also

    I can't speak about the grayness, but the lack of snappiness I think is thanks to the bloat and complexity of modern UIs. KDE in particular is a beast with a ton legacy code built up over the time, and a lot of bits and pieces put toge

    Same, but blackbox (bb4win) was my shell of choice. Along with the Win32 Unix tools, Conemu, xyplorer and shell32.dll icon replacements, my Windows back then looked and behaved very similar to a Fluxbox/OpenBox Linux install. I also re

    Strange. If it's Java, why is it Windows only? The whole point of Java is write-once-run-everywhere. If you're going to target only Windows, might as well as just use C#.

    I also don't want any of its dependencies to be written in Javascript. I also want minimal, auditable dependencies - build, package and runtime. Ideally, I want the app to be a single, portable binary that I can run anywhere, without i

    That's an odd reason. There's many ways to get packages these days without being dependent on your distro's repos (like using brew or Nix, or just grabbing the binaries directly). Ghostty is a very popular terminal right now,

    They rewrote it using a mix of Javascript (React Native), C# and WinUI 3, which is why it's dogshit.

    Why does VAMT suck so much? We normally use ADBA and that works fine, but we've had to use VAMT to activate Win10 ESU licenses last year, and it was an absolute nightmare. Possibly the most poorly designed piece of Microsoft tool in my

    This looks promising. Any chance of adding some CHKDSK-like functionality for general purpose filesystem repair? Like file/metadata corruption resulting from power loss or improper dismounting. The current tools for fixing NTFS filesys

    One big draw for a lot of folks wanting to run these models is that the Mac Minis (well, the M3 Ultra) comes with up to 256GB RAM - and I'm not aware of any other mini PC that supports that much RAM - the highest I've come across

    It's a lot more than just Steam, it's a custom kernel, custom CPU scheduler, additional drivers for game controllers, drivers for handheld devices and a bunch of other tweaks and tools (Bazaar, Lutris, MangoHUD, ujust scripts etc)

    There's still a bit of manual work involved to install the codecs (and proprietary drivers if you need em), which is why I would never recommend vanilla Fedora to a newbie - but Fedora derivatives exist to address that issue. Ultramari
